### Arch linux

There is a PKGBUILD in the `etc` folder. You can install it with `makepkg -si`.

You will first need `python-sdbus-git` from the AUR (installable with your favourite AUR manager).
This is available on the AUR as `yabd-git`. You can install it with your favourite AUR helper, eg:

```console
$ pikaur -S --asdeps python-sdbus-git # or your favourite AUR manager
$ cd etc
$ makepkg -si
$ pikaur -S yabd-git
```


### With Pip

First install `python3.10` or newer and `iio-sensor-proxy` through your package manager.

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--max-brightness MAX_BRIGHTNESS
max selectable brightness in percent (default: 100.0)
--min-brightness MIN_BRIGHTNESS
min selectable brightness in percent (default: 5.0)
min selectable brightness in percent (default: 1.0)
--dimmed-brightness DIMMED_BRIGHTNESS
brightness when the screen is dimmed through command (default: 0.7)
--max-ambient-brightness MAX_AMBIENT_BRIGHTNESS
ambient brightness (in lumen) corresponding to the max
(default: 500.0)
--device DEVICE device to control (default intel_backlight)
ambient brightness (in lumen) corresponding to the max (default: 500.0)
--device DEVICE device to control (default: intel_backlight)
--subsystem SUBSYSTEM
subsystem to control (default backlight)
subsystem to control (default: backlight)
--yield-control, --no-yield-control
If this option is activated and the screen brightness is changed by another
application, this daemon stops controlling it temporarily. (default: True)
--change-to-get-control-back CHANGE_TO_GET_CONTROL_BACK
how much the ambient brightness has to change to get control
back (default 100.0 lumen). If the screen brightness is changed
by another application, this daemon stops controlling it
temporarily. but if the ambient brightness changes more than
this amount, it takes control back. set to 0 to disable this
behaviour
--ramp, --no-ramp ramp brightness changes (default True) (default: True)
-v, --verbose enable logging
how much the ambient brightness has to change to get control back (default 100.0
lumen). If `--yield-control` is activated and another program changes the screen
brightness, the daemon stops controlling the screen brightness. But if the
ambient brightness changes more than this amount, it takes control back. set to
0 to disable this behaviour (default: 100.0)
--controllable, --no-controllable
whether to respond to dbus commands (dim, undim, change_multiplier,
set_multiplier) (default: True)
--ramp, --no-ramp ramp brightness changes (default: True)
--ramp-step RAMP_STEP
how much to change the brightness every 10 ms when ramping (in percent)
(default: 0.2)
--gamma GAMMA gamma for power scaling. 1 means proportional. Lower values mean that as the
room gets brighter, the screen gets brighter faster. Raise if the backlight is
too bright in the dark. (default: 2.0)
